| virus assembly | The assembly of viral capsid proteins and nucleic acid to form a viral particle (virion). (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| virus-associated haemophagocytic syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome closely resembling malignant histiocytosis but potentially reversible, following a herpes group virus infection such as by the Epstein-Barr virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus B hepatitis | A virus disease with a long incubation period (usually 50 to 160 days), caused by hepatitis B virus, a DNA virus and member of the family Hepadnoviridae, usually transmitted by injection of infected blood or blood derivatives or by use of contaminated needles, lancets, or other instruments; clinically and pathologically similar to viral hepatitis type A, but there is no cross-protective immunity; HBsAg is found in the serum and the hepatitis delta virus occurs in some patients. Synonym: hepatitis B, serum hepatitis, transfusion hepatitis, virus B hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus blockade | The interference of one virus by another, either attenuated or unrelated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus C hepatitis | Principal cause of non-A, non-B posttransfusion hepatitis caused by an RNA virus that may be related to Flaviviridae family. Synonym: hepatitis C, virus C hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus diseases | A general term for diseases produced by viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus hepatitis | Liver inflammation caused by viruses. Specific hepatitis viruses have been labelled a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. While other viruses can also cause hepatitis, their primary target is not the liver. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus hepatitis of ducks | A disease of very young ducklings, caused by the duck hepatitis virus (family Hepadnoviridae) and manifested as an acute illness of several days followed by death; the principal lesions are an enlarged necrotic liver filled with ecchymotic haemorrhages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus, human papilloma | A family of over 60 viruses responsible for causing warts. The majority of the viruses produce warts on the hands, fingers, and even the face. most of these viruses are innocuous, causing nothing more than cosmetic concerns. Several types of HPV are confined primarily to the moist skin of the genitals, producing genital warts and elevating the risk for cancer of the cervix. These viruses that cause wartlike growths on the genitals and contribute to cancer of the cervix are sexually transmitted. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus III of rabbits | An obsolete name for a latent herpesvirus infection of rabbits. Origin: the third strain isolated, used for study (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus integration | Insertion of viral DNA into host-cell DNA. This includes integration of phage DNA into bacterial DNA (lysogeny) to form a prophage or integration of retroviral DNA into cellular DNA to form a provirus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus keratoconjunctivitis | Follicular conjunctivitis followed by subepithelial corneal infiltrates; often caused by adenovirus type 8, less commonly by other types. Synonym: virus keratoconjunctivitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus latency | The ability of a pathogenic virus to lie dormant within a cell (latent infection). In eukaryotes, subsequent activation and viral replication is thought to be caused by extracellular stimulation of cellular transcription factors. Latency in bacteriophage is maintained by the expression of virally encoded repressors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus pneumonia of pigs | A worldwide chronic pneumonia usually involving only the anterior lobes; it seldom causes death but is responsible for much unthriftiness; it is caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Synonym: virus pneumonia of pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus replication | The process of intracellular viral multiplication, consisting of the synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, and sometimes lipids, and their assembly into a new infectious particle. (12 Dec 1998) |
